Timetable for Math431

  • Here is what I hope to be an accurate, but is most likely an approximate, schedule. The reason I give it is so that you can do your advance section reading without having an excuse "But you didn't tell us". My life, but more importantly your life, will be so much easier if you read each section the day before we get to it.
